Projects from the department of Weather & Climate Models

  1. A figure with two panels showing the position of the persistent cut-off low and the relevant dynamical processes
    Improving Dynamical aspects of Extreme weather Attribution (IDEA): A case study of the Western European flooding 2021

    In July 2021, heavy rainfall and flooding in western Europe caused the costliest weather disaster in European history. In IDEA, we study key atmospheric dynamical characteristics

  2. The interreg logo
    EMFloodResilience: KNMI involved in European cooperation to be better prepared for flood events

    By providing a new method of extreme value estimation and improving radar products, KNMI is involved in an Interreg project to help being better prepared for future flood events.

  3. Schematic illustration of the climate system in the vicinity of an ice sheet like Antarctica.
    MSO: Coupling an ice sheet model to EC-Earth to investigate future Antarctic contribution to sea level rise

    An Ice Sheet Model (ISM) will be coupled to EC-Earth

  4. The control EPS
    A seamless connection of nowcasting with probabilistic forecasting of clouds and precipitation (NWC_PROBFC_HYDROMETEOR)

    The goal of this research project is to improve nowcasting and probabilistic forecasting of clouds and precipitation in the weather model Harmonie, which is operational at KNMI in ensemble mode.

  5. A figure showing how changes in mean climate and climate variability effect the number of extreme events.
    MSO Climate Variability and Extremes (VAREX)

    We aim to better understand future changes in climate variability and extremes in Europe, and will contribute to the climate knowledge used in the KNMI climate scenarios.

  6. Next generation atmospheric chemistry modeling
    OpenIFS/AC: atmospheric composition in OpenIFS

  7. Results for a machine learning system using constraints from physics for Burgers' equation.
    Short-term Forecasting Using Physics-Guided Machine Learning

    Society is strongly affected by extreme weather events and it is expected that this will become more noticeable in the future.
